Rally Championship 99 - Recommended Specs! and Features

Hello, Just found the recommended specs and list of features for the upcloming Rally game - Rally Championship 99. This info from the Magnetic Fields site (www.magneticfields.co.uk) Recommended Specifications Pentium II 450MHz or better (Arghhh!) 12Mb fast 3D accelerator card 64Mb RAM Hardware accelerated 3D sound card 8x CD-ROM drive Features Photorealistic graphics 36 highly detailed stages covering over 400 miles (400!!!) Highly detailed rally cars Advanced car physics Championship, arcade and time trial modes Many different camera views Up to four players on one PC Eight player network mode Immersive 3D sound Support for force feedback controllers Enhanced for Katmai and K6 3DNow! processors

Hi, Holy shit!!!! That's one hell of a recommended computer! I only meet two specs: CD drive and RAM. I bet that PC Lamer will give it no stars because of the fact that you need that kind of a computer, even if its a great game. Anyway, what are the minimum requirements? Ryan Kocher

Minimum Specifications: Pentium 200MHz processor 4Mb 3D accelerator card 32Mb RAM Sound card 2x CD-ROM drive Expect to get 5fps with these specs ;-) And btw, these pics are absolutely exciting but first I wanna know how the sim "feels". Let us just wait and pray......... Harald Richard J. Kocher heeft geschreven in bericht

I bet that PC Lamer will give it no stars because of the Hey man, the 'minium' spec recommended is not expensive to upgrade nowadays:Abit and an ATX case, it is very easy to have or upgrade to the recommended spec. Give no stars? No way! I hope the game to push the 'minium' spec to limit (say, 25-30fps) so that it give the best eye candy graphic and realistic physics. A game can run well (max performance) in a PII-266 with V1 have no future!

I looked at the screen shots, and while I'm not sure, it looks like the game still uses the "walled in" track, meaning you can't leave the track, no matter how badly you***up. There are walls of trees, raised edges of land, or as in one screenshot, actual stone walls and fences beside the track. Although I enjoyed playing the original Rally Championship, I didn't buy the second version because it still had the "walled" tracks. I set my fastest speeds by holding the pedal to the floor and glancing off the trees and other scenery instead of driving clean. The one (only?) benefit of this design is nice graphics and good speed, even on lower spec machines. MotoRacer2 uses this method nicely. Really dense scenery and sweet framerates. Not what I want out of a rally sim engine, though. The steep system specs make me wonder if they actually did a true model this time. Does anyone know if we'll finally be able to leave the roadway and actually hit things, instead of just being ricocheted back onto the track? -- http://www.users.fast.net/~fusion1 (dirt bikes, rat bikes, rental car abuse...)

Well hopefully my new "Game Boy" will run it {currently under construction}. Transmitted on a clunky old "Net Mule" Specs: Pentium 120 Atima M-7 Mobo 48meg memory & a bunch of parts scarfed up for free the last time MIS cleaned out the storage closet. Bill
